Expecting the Unexpected

After being ditched on the comic book exchange, I was going to give redditgifts one last chance. Maybe this time I'd have a decent Secret Gifter/Santa. Boy, was I in for a treat!

First there was no notification that the gift had been sent by the deadline, which already had my hopes almost down to zero. Then I miraculously received a message from my Secret Santa that she was sorry about the delay and that a package was on it's way. Well that's when things started getting interesting. Who was this Secret Santa, what was in store for me? At least I got one of those questions answered.

A few days after Christmas a package arrived. At least I didn't have to wait to open it.

Inside I found two parcels nicely wrapped in Christmas paper. Let's open the small one first. Neat, a card game I'd never heard of before... [A few plays later I can say that it's great fun!] I'm always on the lookout for new games. Thanks for showing me something new Secret Santa.

Then I opened the second package. This one seemed heavier and rattled a little, like the sound of DVDs. Hmmm what could this be?
Holy Cow it's the Mass Effect Trilogy! A game series I had heard quite a bit about but never had the time to pick up and play. I really can't wait to try it out, a good story is always exciting!

As you could imagine, I was beaming by now. What a great Secret Santa exchange this was. Wait, there's even more! An iTunes gift card hidden in the wrapping paper! Another thing I can easily put to great use.

Thank you so much Secret Santa, you've restored my faith in Redditgifts. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and had an equally awesome Secret Santa exchange as well! Thank you
